Adding Louvers to curtain panel

Hi all, 

I am trying to add louvers to a curtain panel for this building I am designing in my studio class. I have a simple adaptive rectangular curtain panel family however I am trying to add louvers that would be adaptive to the height of the curtain panel. I have found adaptive louvers online for rectangular curtain walls but nothing that would allow me to use them in conjunction with the massing feature with changing heights. I've attached a Screenshot of the building facade as well as the curtain panel family so you can get a better idea of what I am describing. If anyone has first-hand knowledge or could point me in the right direction for a tutorial or tell me there's another way that would be much appreciated. Thanks again.

Edit: just see your pictures, ignore the below (it is for conventional curtain walls and sloped glazing).  Share your adaptive family here. 

 

Use mullions for louver blades and empty system panels for gaps.

I tried using a regular curtain wall with massing by face to try and start the idea you are stating but I got an error saying only basic wall types could be used with the face

Create a curtain system by face, not a curtain wall by face.
